Has anyone found a way to mount the keyhole speakers to speaker stands? What was Onkyo thinking when they didn't put a screw mount on the speakers?

I bought these: VideoSecu 4 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1VE Plenty of people have been happy with them, however when I followed the included directions... it wasn't very clear as to how it wanted me to mount the adapter to the keyhole. I attempted a few times with the included hardware, and ended up making my own configuration. I used some longer machined screws and nuts I had laying around, ran the screw through the top hole of the adapter that comes with this kit, and locked the nut with another in the middle of the screw. I then had to make minuet adjustments to make the distance from the back of the adapter to the first nut slightly less then the thickness of the inside of the keyhole to the outside. This allowed me to mount the adapter insdie the keyhole, with a solid compressed grip. This allowed the speaker to then mount to the post and I mounted the post under a breakfast nook (small apartment). As for speaker stands, not sure if my method could be adapted in someway. Did the stands come with a keyhole adapter plate? If so, I don't see why you couldn't just fashion together something to make enough compression to hold the speaker, then mount adapter plate to said stand. Actually you could probably drill a hole through the speaker stand pole near the top, get a machine screw, two nuts, thread one nut about 7/8's of the way up the threads, put screw through hole ,and then finish with the last nut to tighten it to the pole. Viola, hang speakers and enjoy. Sucks either of us had to deal with poor mounting solutions, but then again... cheap system!

Yes, these can be wall mounted, there is a keyhole bracket preinstalled by Klipsch

I was also frustrated that mounting the speakers were not straight forward. I solved the problem by ordering the following mounts from Amazon: VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH.VideoSecu 2 Black Universal Satellite Speaker Mounts / Brackets for Walls and Ceilings 1EH (Black, 2 Pack)Good luck

You have to drill your own holes then use the hardware that came with your speakers to mount it. It's kind of a pain.

I'm going to give these a shot: http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Universal-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QN5686/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_bThey say keyholes, so these mounts should work fine. They fit the weight of the speakers as well. I'm thinking we are all going to be surprised at the size of these speakers.

Ultimately they should be mounted slightly behind the listening position At ear level (for a 5.2 system) which would require speaker stands.However if for some reason this is not practical I would suggest using the side wall

It depends on the height that you want to put your speakers. I have the Klipsch RB-41's(6LBS each) on my stands and currently using only one inch of the extension pole. Instead of the keyhole mount I used the included large flat mounting plate. They are stable at this height. I tried the keyhole mount and found that the stands were not as stable as the flat plate mount. Your speakers are slightly heavier and of a different configuration than mine. If you are not going to go beyond extending the stands to say 28 inches or so you may be safe. Bottom line with these stands is that the higher you go the less stable they become.

The speaker stand comes with a couple different sets of mounting hardware. My speakers have brass threads on the back, and they have an L adapter that allows you to mount your speakers. Alternatively if you had the threads on the bottom, they have hardware for that included as well. They have a couple of different sized screws for mounting too. However I cannot guarantee that they'll work with your speakers, but they include a lot of adapters, hardware, and mounting plates so that these stands are universal. You should not have a problem. Another thing, don't use these stands with super heavy speakers, get the model above these they are only $10 more. The speaker stand comes with a couple different sets of mounting hardware.

Hi there, I bought the same brackets. As u noticed they will not work. I'm not sure what brackets will. How ever I did modify them by cutting out 4 pieces of wood each 4 1/2"x 4 1/2" about 1/2" thick. I drilled 2 holes in them to line up w/ the key holes on the back of the speakers. Inserted bolts w/ a head on them that would fit in the key hole. Then put stop nuts on the threads and the speakers hang great from them. I spray painted the wood brackets flat black. They look great! U would never know I had mcgyvered them. The system is awesome! U'll love it. Other then the same problem ur face'n right now. I faced it too, but an easy fix. Hope this helped, have a good one.

Hi again, David. Search for the product "Atlantic Satellite 77305018 2 Speaker Stands (Black)" and you'll see what I uploaded three user images there (just below the actual picture of the product). I left some notes on how its mounted, based on the Stands' provided instructions. Happy mounting.

No. I was able to mount those right out of the box. I used those as ceiling speakers at a commercial place.

Yes they do. Thats exactly what i own. The way i was able to get these to work this way though was with a bolt fron sanus speaker stands that is able to fit into the keyhole. Otherwise these brackets do not come with any hardware that would make it possible to use these right out of the box. I hope this helps.

I have used the mounts on the speakers themselves to rest on screws on the wall. Make sure screws hold strong

4----the speaker cover snaps on so you don't see the mounting screws, I hope you are using these in pairs, these are great speakers I have 2 pair mounted in the ceiling of my game room in my man cave.

Actually, I have the active and passive 12" Disco Jams and both units have stand mounts. They are roughly 1.25" diameter holes and 3 inches deep. They are on the bottom side of the box so you don't see them unless you flip the speakers over.

I didn't, but my speakers are not so large as to seem unstable on the stands. Also, drilling into the speaker cabinets may effect their integrity, and sound quality. If I was worried about them tipping off the stands, I would get larger stands that offer a wider stance thus greater stability.
